Kate and William are married. President Obama is actually a U.S. citizen. Emma Watson was NOT bullied in school. Oh! And
Charlie Sheen was dumped. Yes, this is what we apparently were concerned about
over the last week or so.

A study by the Pew Research Center did state that
the majority of people responding to
this pollagreed
there was too much coverage on the royal wedding and President Obama's birth
certificate and not enough coverage on things like the rising cost of food and
gas. There are two problems with the news. The first is that we are primarily
reading the headlines, like those mentioned above, which are placed in front of
us. The second problems is that we are primarily talking about those headlines
placed in front of us.

The news media figures are more interested in the
royal wedding and Charlie Sheen's love life than the fact that there is still
real trouble out here for the employed and
unemployed. Secondly, rather than seeking out
meaningful news that can help us prepare and better deal with the economic
challenges in our lives, we buzz/text/twit/and email about birth certificates
and the length of Kate's dress. Neither of these topics are going to prepare you
for the challenges of unemployment, underemployment, inflation, or fewer health
care options.
